    Updated for OCTGN 3.2.75.0
tested on macOS El Capitan 10.11.6
Original version here https://gist.github.com/samuellinde
Disclosure: These instructions are provided as-is. I don't take any responsibility for things that might go wrong (though the worst thing that could happen should be that OCTGN just won't run). I don't have time to support you if things don't work, unfortunately. But hopefully you'll get OCTGN running without needing to use a virtual machine like Parallels or VirtualBox.
Statements like these are commands to be run in the terminal. You should be fine just copying and pasting, just don't miss any characters.

Download OCTGN: http://octgn.net/Home/GetOctgn
Launch Terminal.app
Install Homebrew (a package manager for OS X) /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Install git brew install git
If asked to install Command Line Tools, klick yes. Else xcode-select --install
Install XQuarts brew cask install xquartz
Install wine brew install --devel wine
Install winetricks brew install winetricks
Configure wine. WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-octgn winecfg Do not install Mono! Set windows version to 8 in the configuration window.
Install OCTGN dependencies WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-octgn winetricks -q vcrun2010. Unfortunately OCTGN 3.2.75 depends on .NET 4.7 which is not available via winetricks.
Download .NET 4.7 installer repack which should install correctly on wine (as the official setup will not). The repack of  .NET 4.7.2 is currently (may 2018) available here http://repacks.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7#p9 (download dotNetFx472_Slim_x86_x64.exe)
Start the .NET setup and follow instructions WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-octgn wine ~/Downloads/dotNetFx472_Slim_x86_x64.exe
Re-configure wine, set windows version to 8. WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-octgn winecfg
Install OCTGN (fingers crossed) WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-octgn wine PATH-TO-OCTGN-INSTALL.exe (NOTE: Replace PATH-TO-OCTGN-INSTALL.exe with the full path to your downloaded OCTGN installer). Choose yes on following prompts. Make sure "Run OCTGN" is selected. If you see flickering artifacts, just close the application – it should be fine when you run it next time.
Launch OCTGN with WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-octgn wine ~/Documents/OCTGN/OCTGN/OCTGN.exe. This is how you launch OCTGN from now on, but @samuellinde created a small applescript that you can download here that makes it easier to launch: http://goo.gl/oo2iRI. Download and unzip, and double-click. If you followed the instructions it should launch OCTGN.
